NCAA First Round: The Official #5 Tennessee vs. #12 Oregon State Game Thread, 4:30 ET, TNT

One team has been playing above their talent.
the other has been playing below their talent. Draw your own conclusions

If we had really thought about it, we would’ve known this was coming. A team that hasn’t won a tourney game in 40 years and a big, goofy post player that averages 5 ppg. Did we really think it wouldn’t play out this way?
GBO!!

 

[VOLinAL]

Bailey just disappointing for 25 of the 27 games we have played.

 

[acd4476]

Nice pons. Good riddance.

 

[ButchPlz]

Whelp this might be the worst Vol basketball game I've ever watched.

One team has been playing above their talent.

Coaching maybe? We just got drilled by a team that hasn’t won an NCAAT game in 40 years

 

[Delmar]

We just don’t have the refs to compete with these alliances going on right now

What in the world are you babbling about?

 

[kiddiedoc]

Wow, that's the story of the game in one possession, there.

 

[DocVol]

Zero energy until you're convinced you've lost. NOW you wanna play. Losing mentality and effort breeds losing.

Team full of losers.

How did they miss all those 3’s? No motion to rotate to get better looks. One on One street ball on perimeter. Biggest hot garbage Tournament game

 

[sportsnut624]

being a Tennessee fan tucking sucks. We are the most underserved fan base in America and have to put up with humiliation after humiliation. I’m so damn tired of never even coming close to meeting expectations in any sport much less exceeding them.

 

[amaralfan1]

Anyone think we will ever get an explanation for what happened to Yves Pons? Did a parent die just before game time? He has looked live he is in a completely different world all game. Several times the ball was headed right toward him and he was looking away.

 

[JCP201]

If we had played the game like we did in the last five minutes, we probably move on.

 

[RAVOL]

Here is my one gripe on coach this game. From the beginning we should have trapped this team. We never made them uncomfortable until final 8 mns by then we are down 20. In CHRIST Alone

 

[jdogvol]

Embarrassing performance.

 

[Ernest T. Vol]

5 of 24 from 3

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Bailey and JJJ suck

 

[zaqhhh]

Never got this game to a single digit deficit...in a game we were favored by 8...against a team that hasn’t won’t a tourney game in 40 years...when we were a top 10 team to start the year.

Very UT Athletics of us

 

[i2amavol]

You seldom win with freshmen leaders.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Barnes better open up 4-5 scholarship

 

[BreatheUT]

The fat lady has song. Maybe some of y'all will have more humility for the other team before the games when you have a schizophrenic team.

 

[WhenUrVolUrVFL]

Ugh.
why the **** did I go to Tennessee?

 

[tnvols72]

Never seen a team that did not have at least 1 pure shooter. Tn does not even have 1 decent shooter.

 

[Orangeblooded615]

Keon and Springer are probably happy to be done. I would be.

 

[njvols]

We always let somebody have a career day, whether basketball or football

It’s a Tennessee tradition. NBA talent abundant and can’t win vs a 12 seed.
